Pre-Flight Message Creation
Petards Joyce-Loebl specialises in the licensed manufacture,
development, and support of a range of Countermeasures
Dispensing Systems, Missile Approach Warners, and
Ground-Based Threat Systems.
Petards Joyce-Loebl has developed a Pre-Flight Message /
Mission Data File Validation Facility for the ALE 47 TACDS
that is installed on the majority of the UK’s military aircraft.
The validation equipment allows the Service’s engineers to
fully exercise a development PFM/MDF, including its
integration with associated elements of a Defensive
Aids Suite, before it is installed on an aircraft.
This facility enables enormous reductions in flight
line testing and verification to be made.
